Crowned with Pearls

  Zhejiang has already experienced a major earthquake that no one knew about.

 But Fujian is still calm.

In recent days, the sea has been calm. Not to mention, the merchant ship that King Min invested this time has returned, bringing back countless wealth. You can see a lot of fist-sized gems, as well as countless spices and jewelry. Look, people are dazzled.

　　Xiao Su suddenly felt at peace physically and mentally.

It was a good idea to come to Min. Thinking of this, Xiao Su looked at Hong Changshi with a gentler look. She smiled and said to Hong Changshi: "Chang Shi's trip to Beijing to present gifts is really hard. I have many things to do." reward!"

After saying that, he asked the people below to bring up a tray with a red cloth covering it. He smiled and said to Hong Changshi: "I heard that Changshi's eldest grandson has been born. This is for him to play with."

Hong Changshi opened the red silk and was almost blinded by the shining jewels inside.

There were several very shining gems here, as well as several yellow long-life locks and small bracelets and collars. They looked so dazzling that he was startled: "Your Highness, this reward is too generous, sir. You deserve it!"

Hong Changshi is now familiar with giving gifts.

　　Not to mention that he was helping Xiao Yuan, the reward for him would not be less.

He said that he was the first person in front of King Min, and there were no officials in Fujian who did not fawn over him. One or two, as long as they could get in touch with him, they could not wait to line up to beg him to accept them. Gift.

 He ​​was a little numb after receiving it, but having said that, now that he saw this tray of gems and jewelry, even he couldn't help but be shocked.

King Min waved his hand: "Why are you so polite to me, Chang Shi? You deserve this."

It was Hong Changshi who gave him the idea and asked him to come to Fujian from the capital.

Hong Changshi also helped him establish good relations with these official families in Fujian, which made his political achievements gratifying.

From birth to growing up, he has always been a prince with no sense of presence. He does not have the superior life experience of the first prince, nor the rebellion of the second and third princes later, nor the likability of the ninth prince. He is the least outstanding among all the brothers. .

 It was not until he got married and became a feudal lord that he felt that he had truly lived again.

 Power is really addictive.

 Seeing that King Min was so serious about what he said, Hong Changshi could not refuse it blindly. After thinking for a moment, he softly agreed, accepted the reward, and solemnly thanked the favor.

King Min shook his head, sat on the chair and said with interest: "No need to be like this, tell me, what's going on in the capital?"

"I haven't seen anything yet." Hong Changshi followed King Min step by step. When he saw King Min sitting on the throne above, he stood at the bottom of the steps and said in a deep voice: "My grandson is in Zhejiang. It has not yet produced results. Therefore, there is considerable criticism in Beijing. Many people say that His Highness Taisun may be good at land warfare, but naval warfare is different from land warfare. His Highness is afraid that he will not be able to do it. It has been more than a year. They said they wanted to train a group of sailors capable of conquering Japan, but in fact, they haven't won a single battle yet."

 Xiao Su likes to hear this.

He sneered.

 Yes, Xiao Heng is so confident. I really think I can do anything. Who doesn’t know that the recovery of Yunnan actually depends on Princess Yong’an’s consort Tang Yuan and son Tang Qingfeng? Who doesn't know that these two are the real generals?

Now that you have gone to Zhejiang, your eyes have gone dark, right?

 What a joke. It’s not something you deserve. Sooner or later, you will get it back in another way.

How can that **** Xiao Heng be worthy of that throne? !

 He should have died long ago.

It's only strange that the second and third sons were not careful in their work back then, and did not even handle such important things. They were more cautious and left Xiao Heng behind to be raised by Marquis Guangping.

Now that he thought of this, he still felt a dull pain in his chest. He closed his eyes before he managed to calm down and breathed out slowly.

 He took a sip of tea with great interest: "Continue."

There is a reason why Hong Changshi can be so moderate under King Min. When he heard what he said, he immediately understood what King Min wanted to hear. He smiled and cupped his hands: "Those words spread in Beijing are not very good." It sounds good, but it gives the Holy One a headache. The Holy One has already planned to send the governor to Zhejiang in the past few days. They have been there for so long, and all they have wasted is the people's fat and the people's anointing!"

  King Min laughed heartily.

After laughing, he felt much better all over and snorted: "Yeah, they talked about training sailors, but in fact, they haven't seen any results so far. The two couples are arrogant in Zhejiang, I'm afraid I’m used to living a good life, and I can’t bear to leave this prosperous place in Zhejiang.”

After a few words of ridicule, Hong Changshi looked at his face and said with a smile: "The news of the princess's happiness was reported, and the Holy Emperor was extremely happy! Even the Queen Mother was very happy, thinking that this was a good sign, and the court rewarded her generously. , The Holy One also allocated many rewards from his private treasury, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Pang also gave rewards to the Princess."

 Speaking of this matter, Xiao Su felt even more proud.

Whether it is official or private matters, he is now much better than Xiao Heng.

 Children, this is the first good news that the royal family has received in recent decades.

You can see how happy Emperor Yuanfeng would be.

He had never liked Zhao Qingye very much, especially since Zhao Qingye actually had someone else in his heart, but at this moment, he found Zhao Qingye extremely pleasing to the eye. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded: "Spread branches and leaves for the clan. After all, it is our responsibility, and this is what she should share as a princess. My father really indulges us too much."

 As he said this, the pride on his face was by no means fake.

Hong Changshi, who was next to him, also smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, you said it wrong. The four words "spreading branches and spreading leaves" are not a simple matter, especially since our court originally had few heirs. Your Highness, Princess, will do it for you. Giving birth to the little prince is a meritorious service."

Min Wangting was very worried. He raised his hand and stood up with a smile: "Okay, Chang Shi just came back. He hasn't gone home yet. He came to the palace to report on his work. My family must be looking forward to seeing you back for a family reunion." Well, you go back first, I won’t let you eat anymore.”

Hong Changshi responded with a smile, bowed his hands and left the door.

 King Min felt happy today, so he simply went to the backyard to see Zhao Qingye.

He also knew that Zhao Qingye's pregnancy was not easy. It was already almost two months ago, but he still couldn't stop vomiting, couldn't eat anything, and looked very thin and haggard. Now that there were rewards coming from the capital, of course he had to go and comfort him. She, as Hong Changshi said, is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually do it.
